any time i go thru mud and water spalshes up my truck stalls out. it takes about 10 mins to start back up. and sugestions on why?

 

may be your wires or distributor cap are shot and are shorting out when the water hits them and grounds them to the engine?...either that or an electrical short somewhere...

 

Cracked coil?

 

Yea on my ram the coil got water in it from a old bridge (the kind where water goes over it) And the check engine light came on, It spudderd too. But a new coil later and it runs great.

 

the dist. cap got wet most definatly. same thing would happen to me in my old Nissan truck. (i dont take my Dodge wheeling, thats what the Nissan's for)

 

i vote distributor cap. pull it off and make sure it isn't cracked.

 

Mine will chug and sputter for a bit after I run it through a quick wash, I assume it has to be something with the undercarriage jets soaking something. My cap is new though.

 

Hi Guys, I have the same issue with my 02 Ram. 5.9 (Non Hemi). I agree with the cracked cap and stuff and that's why I replaced it all. I replaced the Cap, Rotor, Plugs, and Wires. I still have the issue but is only stalls when it gets wet from underneath?? So what about a cracked coil? I saw something about that, or is there something down by the starter in series with the ignition? Anybody have any ideas?

 

Did you replace the plug wires as well? Run them per the TSB?

 

Has anyone suggested the issue could be a cracked distributor cap or worn spark plug wires?
